HKFanatic’s review published on Letterboxd:
"Singham" is perhaps the strangest Bollywood action movie I've yet to see. It's very much in the vein of "Dabangg" and "Rowdy Rathore," with a khaki-clad, mustached cop kicking ass in the name of justice. But whereas those aforementioned movies built to a show-stopping finale where the bad guy and his goons got their violent comeuppance, "Singham" ends on an awfully downer note that seems to suggest the only way to fight widespread societal corruption is with more corruption.
While the film's many song-and-dance numbers hold up Singham's character as a paragon of virtue, by the time the credits roll our hero has had to compromise all of his values in order to stop the bad guys. What's worse is that the filmmakers seem to indicate the audience should be happy about this development.
While the action sequences in "Singham" are among the best in its genre and lead star Ajay Devgn is charismatic enough, the underlying fascistic message of the film left a sour taste in my mouth.
